Researchers at EPFL have found that humans still outperform AI at recognizing objects with missing or fragmented outlines. Their study shows how training AI on more human-like visual data could help close the gap. 🔗Read more: actu.epfl.ch/news/ai-can-t-…
Researchers at EPFL have created a mathematical model that helps explain how breaking language into sequences makes modern AI like chatbots so good at understanding and using words. 🔗 Read more: news.epfl.ch/news/how-ais-u…
We open-sourced the codebase of Flextok. Flextok is an image tokenizer that produces flexible-length token sequences and represents image content in a compressed coarse-to-fine way. Like in PCA: the 1st token captures the most compressed representation of the image, the 2nd…
Have you ever been bothered by the constraints of fixed-sized 2D-grid tokenizers? We present FlexTok, a flexible-length 1D tokenizer that enables autoregressive models to describe images in a coarse-to-fine manner. flextok.epfl.ch arxiv.org/abs/2502.13967 🧵 1/n
